Based on requirements on high performance and high resolution of modulators, a fourth-order Sigma-Delta modulator for audio application is developed in this paper. The modulator is designed under the commercial 0.5μm CMOS process and the circuits are given simulations by Spectre. The sampling frequency of sigma-delta modulator is 11.264 MHz, and OSR is 256 within the 22 kHz signal bandwidth. Measure performance shows that Sigma-Delta modulator enables its maximum SNR to achieve 103.5dB, and the accuracy of Sigma-Delta modulator is up to 16 bit.

A fourth-order single-loop 1-bit sigma–delta [Formula: see text] modulator for digital gyroscope sensor interface circuit is presented in this paper. The effects caused by mismatch between parasite capacitors at the input of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) and the nonlinear on-resistance of the CMOS switch are analyzed. The chopping technique is adopted to eliminate the flick noise in low frequency. The modulator is fabricated in a standard CMOS 0.5-[Formula: see text] process and the effective area is 2 mm2. The power dissipation is 9.66 mW when the voltage is 5 V. The tested results show that a 93.7-dB peak signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) and a 99.7-dB dynamic range (DR) are achievable at the sample frequency of 500 kHz for 2 kHz bandwidth. The optimization of the switches used in the first integrator and the parasite capacity is proved to be effective in the design of modulator.
